Venice notes: Patterns in a picture II
http://venicenotes.blogspot.com/2006/11/patterns-in-picture-ii.html
Thursday, November 23, 2006. Patterns in a picture II. It's a sunny day on the Grand Canal, in front of the the Palazzo bought by Peggy Guggenheim, and now housing her private collection. This is a very popular spot. What's happening? 1 Semi-public, semi-private. Anyone with a few euros can get into this private house turned museum. And yet, it's in Venice, and there are thousands of tourists outside, in the Dorsoduro sestiere. It's not obvious unless you're there, but this balcony is a beautiful gatheri...

Venice notes: English words with Venetian origins
http://venicenotes.blogspot.com/2006/12/english-words-with-venetian-origins.html
Saturday, December 30, 2006. English words with Venetian origins. As far as I can tell, the modern meanings and usage of the following English words, come from Venice proper:. Another country was named after Venice: Venezuela, and many islands and cities. And, of course I'm leaving aside words that are still specific to Venice, and used only metaphorically otherwise: Gondola, Rialto, Doge, Magnifico, barcarole, etc. A light, warm scarlet is "Venetian red".

Venice notes: Alternating drips
http://venicenotes.blogspot.com/2006/12/alternating-drips.html
Saturday, December 09, 2006. There are especially Venetian. Patterns, which, still, are quite universal. When we're in Venice, they remind us of home. When we're home, they remind us of Venice. It's generally completely subconscious. When we peel back our conscious mind, and peek inside, we find it's the physical. Phenomena that resonates with us. Like all good patterns, I found this one in the shower. Probably time to change the plastic curtain. Now, something familiar to anyone who has spent too much t...

Venice notes: Cozy refuge
http://venicenotes.blogspot.com/2007/10/cozy-refuge.html
Monday, October 15, 2007. Certainly Venice is beautiful, but the unusual feeling. It has, for today's visitor, is that of one big home. Well, the whole world comes to visit, to take a breath, within this ideal cozy refuge. And it's ok that everyone comes here. Everyone seems to "fit in", because everyone has problems they need to run away from, and everyone needs a special place for their escape. Posted by Greg Bryant at 11:24 AM. Bernard n. shull.

Ergens onderweg: november 2010
http://roelj.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Dinsdag 23 november 2010. Venetië 25 jaar later. Hoe origineel, een gondel! Een kwart eeuw geleden strandde ik hier, na twee dagen liften. Nu gaat het een tikkeltje vlugger. Vanuit Charleroi kom ik met Hilde en Anaïs (vrouw en kind) op 10 november 2010 in Treviso aan na een vlucht van 1 uur 30 minuten. 25 jaar later, en de stad weet je nog steeds te betoveren. Venetië achtervolgt je met associaties, die je uit je mouw kan schudden om je culturele bagage te etaleren: ". Ook dit is ". 65279; "Wie is deze r...

Dorsoduro
http://www.aloverofvenice.com/HiddenCorners/Dorsoduro/Dorsoduro.html
Picture of the Week. Dorsoduro is bohemian, young and artsy. If Venice was Paris or New York, which thankfully it is not, Dorsoduro would be its Montmartre or its Village. Home to the Ca' Foscari University of Venezia. And the Accademia Galleries. Is derived from the words osso duro. Which means hard bone or hard spine, a reference to the harder soil found in this part of Venice. From the imposing domes of La Salute. Basilica to the humble tenements near the stazione maritima,. And "Life of Saint Ursula".
